Nice work, LDC has caught up to the latest DMD version, and that's with the much faster DMD release cycle since last year, good to see.

Great to see LDC being as up to date with DMD as possible quickly.

Sadly due to a Phobos bug, I need D 2.081.0 :-(

Hopefully the Debian, Fedora, Homebrew, and Linuxbrew packagers get LDC 1.1=
0.0
out quickly.=20

It is very easy to build ldc from source, I do it all the time, even on my Android tablet or smartphone: https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_from_source If you're waiting on a Phobos fix, you can always backport it to LDC 1.10 and build it yourself. You can also try out the WIP pull for the next release, available on its own branch, particularly if you're on linux where it's mostly working: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/pull/2752

In the past I have been known to work with master head or release branch as= a part of helping as a bit of a tester. However, there were issues, long stor= y, so I started relying on packaged version. I guess I should try being a test= er again.

I could be convinced to try this out once it gets committed into a branch.

In case you haven't figured it out by now: it already is on a branch in the official repo, `merge-2.081`.

Found indeed. And built. dub run --compiler=3D$HOME/BuildArea/LDC/bin/ldc2 does the business. Steve's fix to Phobos works. I don't get a silent thread termination in Phobos now. --=20 Russel. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
